how to get to site admin/dashboard

At the front page, unless I put the meta widget on the sidebar, I can’t find a link to go back to the admin site. So I add a link to the site admin. But I think it will be confusing for new user who want to post a new blog.

If i put the meta widget then there will be two login form on the front page, it just doesn’t look good, I think.

As work around you can use the plugin widget “Mini Meta Widget”. You are able to set up direct links to the admin functions like post edit, add new post, manage media gallery etc. It is working where ever you can place a widget – of course normally the sidebar menu.
